In computer networks, a proxy server is a server (a computer system or an application) that acts as an intermediary for requests from clients seeking resources from other servers.
A proxy server may reside on the user's local computer, or at various points between the user's computer and destination servers on the Internet. 1  A proxy server that passes requests and responses unmodified is usually called a gateway or sometimes a tunneling proxy.
